A Husband’s Journey Through Love and Loss
A candid caregiver’s memoir chronicling a slow, terminal illness, the maze of healthcare, and what love looks like when hope feels thin.
From Abuser to Protector
Stories that heal — from surviving violence to caring through terminal illness.
I write with raw honesty about the cycle of abuse, accountability, and redemption — and the decade I spent as a caregiver to my wife, Amy, as she battles gastroparesis. My work is for survivors, caregivers, students, and anyone seeking hope and truth.
Books on Abuse Recovery, Caregiving & Redemption

About Don
Don Foster is a former bodyguard and private investigator who became a caregiver and advocate. Raised inside violence and chaos, he replicated the harm for years — until the mirror forced a reckoning. Today, Don writes and speaks so others can name the patterns, build boundaries, and choose a different ending.
His forthcoming book, From Abuser to Protector, follows the long road of accountability and repair. His first book, A Husband’s Journey Through Love and Loss, chronicles the day‑to‑day reality of caring for his wife, Amy, through gastroparesis.
